Going to miss this - only been here 3 days...

Last morning in Kenya. Slept and eaten well and feeling better than I have in months. Now facing 1 hr ✈️ trip to Nairobi, 6hr layover, 9 hr ✈️ to Heathrow, then 3 hrs layover in London and 5 hr 🚆 to Edinburgh. Don't think it'll last!

Superman was fun. Great cast, with quite a bit going on! No massive exposition or origin story needed.

Fascinating thread for artists!

🖤🐦‍⬛⚫𝑭𝒆𝒅𝒆⚫🐦‍⬛🖤 @fsohns.bsky.social · Jul 11

Voting is up for the #ENnies and #ZephyrRPG is up for one for Interior Art!

vote.ennie-awards.com/vote/2025

This thread is about the 4 year long art process for Zephyr, and what made it unique.

The TLDR: Each of the 100+ spreads in Zephyr was made by me while I was learning how to draw.

1/29

Zephyr interior spread where a Windfolk is seen prostrated before a majestic Fleeting

Zephyr interior spread where a Windfolk is seen offering a scarf to a fungal altar, surrounded by Wheatfiends

Zephyr interior spread where a group of Windfolk are seen paddling across an underground river

Zephyr interior spread where Windfolk are seen playing under the tinge of a red sunset, in a lake, toying with what seems to be lit fires on the water surface
